Beautiful Girl

I know I post a lot of pictures of Lynnlee but since she doesn't get to be in public very much no one ever gets to see her. If we do take her in public it's because she's sleeping and stays in the car seat. She's changing so much everyday so I wanted you to see her when she's not asleep in her car seat. Marshall and I had fun taking some pictures of her the other day.

Lynnlee's Update

Lynnlee is 2 months old. With all that she has been through I feel like it's been more than 2 months. Recently she has had checkups with the dermatologist and cardiologist. The dermatologist checked her birth mark. She told us it would continue to increase in size over the next few months and then over the next few years it will lighten and disappear. So far it's definitely getting bigger but it's funny how small of a concern it is compared to her heart defect. The cardiologist said her heart was pumping well and as they expect for this point in time. Her oxygen is 88% (90% or above is normal for you and I but they expect hers to be below 90%). She is able to stop taking a medication she was taking for swelling. All in all we couldn't be more happy with her check up. She will need her next surgery as early as July but hopefully not until fall. It all depends on how she changes over the next few months. She will have a check up with the cardiologist again next month.

Soccer

Marshall has been playing soccer in Park City the last few years. Even though it's a little bit of a drive from American Fork he wanted to play again this season. The kids and I decided to go with him last night. I planned a little barbecue with Marshall's sister, Beckie. The weather was beautiful when we left American Fork but I packed warm clothes for everyone since the forecast said rain and it's a good thing because it rained a lot. Luckily there was a covered area where we could eat and watch Marshall's game. James and Lily had a great time running around and kicking a soccer ball. Lynnlee slept in her car seat the whole time.

It was a little bit of an adventure but I hope to have more tail gate barbecues with Marshall's other games.

Birthday Weekend

I had a great birthday last weekend. Marshall went out of his way to make sure I had a great day. He let me sleep in and then served me breakfast in bed. Then James and I got to spend time with our friends Chelsea and Benson while Marshall worked.

That afternoon we went for a run on the trail in Provo canyon. James and Lynnlee love the double jogging stroller which I got for my birthday/Mother's Day present. After our run we hiked up to Bridal Veil Falls. It was James's first hike where he actually hiked and wasn't in a backpack. He did a great job. I took Lynnlee in the front pack. It was a little breezy so I kept a blanket on her. James loved the waterfall.

That night my parents watched James and Lynnlee so we could go out to dinner. After dinner we came back to my parent's house and had my favorite birthday dessert: homemade oreo cheesecake (thanks Mom!) Thanks Marshall for a great birthday!

Sleep

I love the different ways Lynnlee falls asleep.
